three damning reports commissioned by wada, the world anti—doping agency.based on the testimony of this couple. it found that many athletes have taken illegal drugs between 2011 and 2015. for, years international sports competitions have been hijacked by the russians. coaches and athletes have been playing on an uneven field. sports fans and spectators have been deceived. it is time that stops. yes, stops. for russia there was humiliation and a ban on hundreds of athletes from the rio 0lympics. but president vladimir putin remains defiant. he believes his sports men and women have been victims of double standards and political interference. i travelled to the us to meet them, i can't say exactly where. they have spent the last two years staying under the radar. why did they take such extraordinary risks that force them to lead a life on the run? thousands of miles from home, they may never return to russia. yulia stepanova was brought up on the edge of an industrial estate in kursk, in western russia. to begin with, she did not have time for running. in fac
